The opal mining at Coober Pedy is still running and this is perfectly shown through all the Diggings (Exvacation of opal mining). The Diggings starts 50 km befor you arrive at Coober Pedy and these digging fields may be seen almost 20 km before you are there. That‘s such flat out here and the view may be at clear days 300 km.
We have talked to a miner and he gave us the permission to take some photos and drone-pictures of his claim.
As it‘s possible and also very nice, we sleep in a Underground B&B. In Coober Pedy it‘s absolutly common to live underground. The Underground B&B“ is a perfect choice to stay at Coober Pedy.
